Hula Hoe is a Weeder with a Wiggle!

Sharp steel blade slices through weeds with ease

Cuts on both forward and back strokes

An ordinary flat hoe — the only kind you see in most garden centers — is good for moving and smoothing soil. For weeding, though, the Hula Hoe (also called a stirrup hoe or scuffle hoe) is a far better tool for the job. The sharp steel blade skims horizontally below the soil surface, slicing through weed roots while leaving the soil in place. The blade is designed to have a little play in it — the famous "hula wiggle" — so that it cuts at the correct angle on both backward and forward strokes.

"When" it rains in western Oklahoma, grass and weeds seemingly spring up in a day in the garden and flower beds. The hula hoe makes quick work in keeping them under control. The wide blade makes the work go much quicker. The wide blade also sometimes gets a plant that I would prefer it did not get. I just have to be careful around these plants.

I have a plot at our local community garden where we have a huge issue with weed control. The Hula Hoe is the most used tool in the garden shed. To be able to use one, you have to show up at off times to even get a chance. If you move it back at certain angle, it tears through weed like noting and saves so much time. With the right technique, it even cranks through older crab grass.

You can get fairly close to your plants without disturbing them. Cuts smaller weeds well but doesn't really slice through the bigger ones! But if I got to them earlier, it wouldn't be a problem. Very satisfying to use and I like that you don't really need to bend too much. Next time I'll get the bigger head! I've only just purchased this so I cannot judge wear. I would recommend this to all veggie gardeners!!

I have a hand tool similar to this which I love. This hula hoe allows me to stand while doing soil work. It cuts thru weeds effortlessly - much easier than a standard hoe. And for light cultivation - so I'm not constantly bringing up deep weed seeds- this has worked out perfectly. I use it every time I visit my garden areas. Love it!

I garden all year round with my hot-house and this product is great. I felt like a kid with a new toy, actually wandering around the green house hoping for more weeds to use this on. Have not yet filed it to re-sharpen, curious how that will go with the black paint on it.
